What are Directions and Maps? Class 2 EVS

Directions and Maps? Class 2 EVS


Cardinal Directions are compass points that assist us in navigating or finding directions.
North, East, West, and South are the four cardinal directions. The initial letters N, E, W, and S are commonly used to represent these directions

What exactly is a compass? What is the purpose of a compass?


When we can't find our path, we can use cardinal directions to guide us. We use a compass to understand the directions around us. It is a tool that assists us in determining directions.

compass



Because a compass needle always points north, we can readily determine where East, South, and West are. When you're alone and in an area that isn't densely populated, a compass can be quite useful. Mountains, forests, and oceans are examples of such places. Because there are no routes or highways on the open sea, ships and boats must rely solely on compass directions to achieve their destinations.

What exactly is a map?
A map is a drawing of a part of the Earth’s surface or a drawing of all of the Earth’s surface.
A map and a compass, when used together, can assist you in traveling to any location you like, as the compass will provide instructions and the map will assist you in identifying where you need to go.

Exercise for practice

Fill in the blanks:

  1. ________ help us to find a place.
  2. ________ is a drawing of a place on paper.
  3. Sun_______ in the East, ______ in the West.

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne...

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name Noble Gases Noble gases, sometimes known as inert gases or erosions, are part of the modern periodic table's 18th group. This group is made up of the following individuals: Helium is a kind of gas (He) Neon (Ne) Argon is a gas (Ar) Krypton  (Kr) Xenon is a kind of xenon gas (Xe) Radon is a gas that can cause cancer (Rn) Noble gases exist in a gaseous state under typical temperature and pressure conditions. Because all noble gases have stable electronic structures, they have very little chemical reactivity. They are monoatomic gases that do not readily form molecules. 'ns2np6' represents the basic electrical configuration of noble gases. As a result, noble gases' outermost valence shells can be deemed 'complete.' The chemical inertness of the group of 18 elements is due to this. Because of the stability of certain elements, these gases form a group. These stable elements' crusts are totally filled.
